I hear what you're saying here, but just taking what the article was saying, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

    Then one of the participants drank some contraband Scotch and became 
    unusually, violently ill. He confessed his transgression to the 
    researchers, and follow-up studies confirmed his account: WIN 18,446 
    didn’t mix well with booze.

I suspect this inmate was more than a little liquored up. Just a guess. But more importantly this part:

    WIN’s side effects sounded familiar to Amory. In his clinical practice, 
    he’d occasionally prescribed Antabuse (disulfiram) to patients who 
    struggled with alcohol addiction. The drug blocks a form of the enzyme 
    acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which helps the body metabolize 
    alcohol;

which means it's effects are used in practice to combat alcoholism.

Can't be that bad. Though, that still means that there could be other interactions not described?
